Express tools menu not showing in the Ribbon !!

[Anonymous]

Good afternoon.

I have an installation of Autocad 2020 where I cannot see the express tools menu in the ribbon. Express tools is installed and working: I tried different commands like tcount, attin and estratt , but even if I lauch the commands expresstools or expressmenu from command line the menu in the ribbon still does not show. The expressmenu and the expresstools commands seem to to nothing. What could I try to make the express tools menu appear in the ribbon? I tried to look up in the forum but I didn't find anything that solved that issue

Its a tab, not a menu, unless you want to turn on MENUBAR command to get all menus to appear.
If I may ask, how many tabs do you have in the Ribbon? Post a screenshot.

Have you tried changing workspaces and see if that Ribbon Tab appears?

Hi,

>> What could I try to make the express tools menu appear in the ribbon?

right click on ribbon tab and select from show Tabs options.

No, nothing happens. I don't even get an error, it looks like the command is executed, but nothing happens

Start CUI command and let us know if you see EXPRESS installed?

No, EXPRESS looks absent

I loaded the acetmain.cuix file in CUI and now the tab is showing. Thanks to all that contributed.

for the record, I followed the instructions here to load the file

Thank you! Many of the other solutions I tried did not work. The linked video was the way!
